I found a old bar top Little casino video game yesterday!

Hi All, Yesterday at the local flea market, I found this! 1982 Digital Controls Inc. "Little casino" video game. It plays blackjack, poker, Craps and Hi-lo. I got real cheap because you couldn't see anything in daylight on the screen. Once i got it home it has a dim yet usable pic. It uses a monochrome tube with color gels on the faceplate. I'm going to take off the back and find out what tube it needs to make full brightness. I haven't seen one of these before. Is it rare? In my home state of Tennessee i recall back in the 80's and 90's there were a lot of news articles of video poker establishments being raided for illegal gambling and seeing the sheriff dept smashing the machines with sledgehammers. I wonder if this is one of the few survivors???

Cool. Some of these machines were built using existing arcade game boards running different ROMs. If you get sick of the casino games you may be able to burn some ROMs for it to play Space Invaders or Lunar Lander.

That's even smaller than the systems I've seen. I love the plastic case.
